| Q.
What affect does excess weight have on blood pressure?
Being overweight is an important risk factor for high blood pressure. If you are 20% overweight (i.e. obese), you are eight times more likely to suffer from high blood pressure than someone of normal weight. If you are seriously overweight, you should definitely have your blood pressure checked. |
